Throw a Teenager Pool Party

It doesn't matter if it's a birthday party, a school's ending party or just a plain party! This will help you throw the best pool party ever!

Steps

  1. Decide where to have the party. a good idea is at your pool because you get more freedom!
  2. Decide which activities to hold. teenagers don't like arranged activities but make sure there are things to do besides swimming, it is better to let them choose between 3-5 activities. some things to do are: sports, or volleyball in the pool!, movie inside, or even some contests!
  3. Send out invitations about 2 weeks ahead of time. Don't make them too specific and the best time is around Friday after school-9 or so.
  4. Provide some food! chips, cupcakes, and ice cream are a must! a good idea is have somebody to grill burgers, hot dogs and maybe cook some pasta, another choice is order a lot of pizza! Teens are hungry all the time!
  5. If you want, maybe hire a DJ and give him a bunch of CDs and let the music roll! If you want to save money, burn a couple CDs of your favorite songs and make sure to change the music after one is done! You can also make a big playlist on your iPod!
  6. Do decorations a night before the party! Balloons are always a good idea and streamers are fun to! Make sure the house/pool looks amazing! Clean the pool and make it look spotless!
  7. Have fun! It's your party too! Just be sure everyone is having a good time and know what you're doing and keep track of time!

Tips

  • Have a good amount of food, teens eat like crazy and will just keep on eating!
  • If you have any little siblings it might be a good idea to send them to a friend's house so they don't disturb you!
  • Have age appropriate things to do. A box of toys won't keep them entertained!
  • Get some pool floaties/toys so you can lie down or play around!
  • Have a water fight.
  • If your pool comes with a heating unit, make sure it's on and set at a comfortable temperature. Nobody likes a cold pool.

Warnings

  • Make sure everyone is having a good time, some people might be left out.
  • If there are some people who don't know how to swim just make sure there is a person watching.
